Got my chance to drive an 08 the weekend

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]It was an F250 King Ranch 4x4cc. There was one guy ahead of me at the dealer and I got to hear it start up cold it was about 15degrees outside. It was a little quieter than the 6.0 on cold start up but when he returned with the engine warm it was really quiet. You could easily talk on your phone with the hood up. Very quiet interior better than my 04'. Much better throttle response and yes it would spin the tires fron a dead stop [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img](hey not my truck)I wasn't really trying to just trying to get a feel for the power. The power came on smooth and refined not quite as harsh when it hits the 1800-2000 rpm lith the 6.0. Under the hood if the 6.0 is a plumbing nightmare the 6.4 is a plumbers wort nightmare. All in all I liked the truck very much I was nearly set on buying a durdge this year but I am going to wait a few months to see how many problems we hear about with the new stuff.

It didn't have a sticker on it. I'm guessing there wasn't enough room for all of the didgits. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]
